Chapter 403: The Missing
He Hailan returned home with a handkerchief, she naturally remembered Zhen Ai's favor in her heart, even if she didn't succeed in making Zhen Qin completely disappear from her life this time, she would still remember Zhen Ai's favor.
When Bi'er saw He Hailan coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss, you are finally back, the slaves and maids are worried to death!" ”
Although the young lady knows all kinds of medical skills, she has no kung fu after all, and she doesn't bring herself when she goes out at night, she is as beautiful as a flower... No, it should be a stunning beauty walking on the road at night, for fear of encountering some danger!
He Hailan thought of the handkerchief in her hand, she was in a good mood, she reached out and patted Bi'er's shoulder, walked past Bi'er's side, and said with a smile, "What are you worried about?" Haven't I all come back safely? You love to worry about it. ”
It's not particularly far from Zhen's house, it's a few streets away, in the past, Zhen's house was more than 20 minutes away, if it is placed in modern times, it is a few minutes away by car, and she used to shoot night scenes a lot of times, and her courage has also been trained.
"Slaves are not blind and worried." Bi'er followed He Hailan into the room, pursed her lips and said, "A while ago, there was still a disappearance of young women in the capital, you went out this big night, can the slave not be in a hurry?" ”
It sounds like it's a lecture.
He Hailan glanced back at Bi'er, and patted Bi'er helplessly, "Okay, okay, you girl, I just can't talk about you." He Hailan retracted her thoughts and looked at Bi'er, her brows furrowed slightly, "But the young woman you said is missing?" When did this happen? ”
Bi'er looked at He Hailan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Just half a month ago, miss, didn't you pay attention?" ”
He Hailan shook her head, she was busy these days, where did she get so much energy to care about other things, but this capital turned out to be a case of a young woman missing? It can't be a flower thief, right?
Bi'er saw that He Hailan really didn't know, and she also wanted to give her own lady a wake-up call, so that the young lady wouldn't go out alone in the future, so she told the matter again, "At first, it seemed that the daughter of the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn was missing, and the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn only had such a daughter and reported the case, but when the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn reported the case, several families went to Shuntianfu to report to the official, and their daughter had an accident and was still missing the daughter of the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn for a longer time." ”
He Hailan's brows furrowed tightly, this is not a good thing, there are so many daughters missing one after another, I am afraid that they will either encounter flower thieves or bandits!
However, the Ming and Yuan dynasties were strong and the people were safe, and the capital was even more heavily guarded, and the thieves must not be able to easily take people away from the capital, which means that these women were taken away by the people in the capital.
But a huge capital, Shuntianfu will definitely not search the city because a few girls are missing, search the city is not such a simple thing, search the city must first prepare soldiers, otherwise once the grass startles the snake, it will make those people shrink their heads and tails, and finally let them not catch a clue, and make a fuss.
He Hailan pondered for a while, raised her eyes and looked at Bi'er, who immediately cheered up and prepared to answer the question asked by her own young lady.
He Hailan couldn't help but smile when she looked at Bi'er like this, "Do you know when they all disappeared?" But do you know why you are missing? ”
"Hehe..." Bi'er looked at He Hailan excitedly, fortunately, she felt that if this matter was told to Miss, Miss would not go out alone in the future, so in order to bluff Miss, she also went to inquire about this matter, but she didn't expect Miss to be really interested now! Thinking of this, Bi'er was even more excited, she was very serious, and said colorfully, "Shopkeeper Liao... That is, the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn, his daughter was the son of the time before going out to send things to the guests, as soon as he went out did not come back, the Yuelai Inn looked for a night did not find the daughter of the shopkeeper Liao, and the shopkeeper Liao decided to report to the official early the next morning. ”
said and talked about her, "There is also the daughter of the tofu king, there was a family that asked for fifteen catties of tofu that night, the tofu king and his wife were too busy, so they let their daughter send it, but the daughter is gone, and the family banquet has not yet been completed." ”
"Tofu for a family dinner?" He Hailan looked at Bi'er suspiciously, "How valuable is this tofu?" ”
Bi'er looked at He Hailan and smiled, "Miss, you don't understand, how many kinds of food can tofu make, there is a temple called Shuijingan fifty miles outside the city, where almost all the fasting rice is made of tofu, tofu with the taste of fish, and heavier tofu cakes, but delicious, when the slave maid was still young, I went to eat it with my grandmother." ”
He Hailan saw that Bi'er couldn't stop talking about eating, so she quickly stretched out her hand to stop her words and didn't let her continue, "What about the others?" Are they all out to deliver things? ”
Bi'er thought about it for a while, "There are several, one of them I remember, it is the person from the Xiong family's flower garden, his flowers are planted well, almost every time their flowers are sold on the street, they will be sold out quickly, and there are many overseas people who buy his flowers, and those noble ladies in the capital who love elegance like to buy their flowers." ”
"Did the daughter of the Xiong family also come out to deliver flowers that night?" He Hailan frowned, so coincidental? They all came out to deliver things, and then didn't return all night?
Bi'er bowed, "Hmm." ”
"So what can connect the girls to each other, such as their personalities, characteristics, and appearances?" He Hailan played with the handkerchief in his hand, and always felt that this matter was not simple.
Bi'er thought about it very seriously, and finally shook her head, "There is nothing special that can be linked, the only thing that can be linked is probably the family background, they are all the families of merchants, and they can't become a big climate." Bi'er said that she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at He Hailan, pouted and said, "Miss slave maid said that these are for you to take as a warning, next time you can't run out alone, even if you want to throw it out, you have to call the slave and maid together, so that the slave and maid can protect you." ”
He Hailan knew that she couldn't ask anything from Bi'er, so she changed the topic and handed the handkerchief in her hand to Bi'er, "You can clean this handkerchief one day and dry it in the most conspicuous place in our yard." ”
Bi'er looked at the brand-new handkerchief, her eyebrows raised slightly, "Miss, why do you still use this handkerchief, you are not afraid of being stolen by someone with a heart?" ”
